Patent CA-2363940-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FLANNERY JAMES P
IPC: H04N21/4782
Filed: 2000-02-28
Abstract: A system and method of fairly and securely enabling time-constrained competitions over the Internet (190) among millions of competitors compensates for the variable network latencies experienced by client machines (160) used by the competitors. The system employs globally time synchronized Internet information servers and client machines in order to synchronize the initial display of each invitation to respond (e.g. stock price to buy or sell, query to answer, or problem to solve) on a client machine so each competitor can respond to the invitation at substantially the same time, regardless of location, or the type of Internet connection used by the client. By using globally time synchronized client machines (160), each competitor's response is securely time and space stamped at the client machine to ensure that competitor responses are resolved within microsecond accuracy.

Title: Method and system for scaling a graphical user interface (gui) widget based on selection pointer proximity
Inventor: MCALLISTER SCOTT J
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 2002-01-15
Abstract: On a display screen, the visual size of a graphical user interface (GUI) widget is scaled based on the distance between the GUI widget and a displayed selection pointer, such as an arrow pointer controlled by a mouse. As the selection pointer is moved toward or away from the widget, the widget changes size. This permits the widget to display additional information, such as icon text, as a user moves a selection pointer closer to the widget.
